Although not stated in the Articles of Incorporation, the erosion of Christian values in our society in general, and the current attempt to exclude such values in the public educational process in particular through textbooks and other instructional materials, necessitates that a statement of intent be made for Cedar Creek School to state the principles and beliefs on which it was founded and to serve as a guiding light for its future.

As did the founding fathers of this country, the incorporators of Cedar Creek School did so with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence. Specifically, they believed then, and now, that the most important lesson ever to be taught is the reliance and belief in the teaching of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although no such belief is required of any instructor or student, nevertheless, it has been and will remain the policy of Cedar Creek School to promote such Christian values, but acknowledge the existence of certain opposing views by others. In addition, the school has and shall continue to enlist the support and participation of Christian teachers, speakers, programs and music, as well to encourage prayer and the invocation of God in all its endeavors.

In the selection of textbooks, the content shall be evaluated in light of such principles and a reasonable balance shall be sought so that students learn and be aware of non-Christian beliefs but that equal or greater time is spent in promoting Christian beliefs.

The intent of this statement is to make it clear that divine Providence was sought in the incorporation and organization of Cedar Creek School and that it is believed that it will survive and endure only so long as its staff and teachers continue to seek divine guidance and direction in every aspect of its programs and activities.
